 There are two USB connection options – one is BUS-powered 

and the other is externally powered. BUS-powered cable delivers 

reduced illumination – approximately 30% less brightness.

Note: 

The ID-40 can be configured as an RS-232 reader with the QX-1 Interface Device.

MicroHAWK ID-40 and ID-45 (DHCP Network Connection)

1. Plug your reader into the your network adapter.
2. Open 

ESP Software

 and connect to the reader via 

Ethernet TCP/IP

.

3. Click

 to find the reader. When the reader appears in the field below the 

Search

 and 

Send

 

buttons, select it.

4. Change the reader from 

Static

 to 

DHCP

 and click 

Send and Save

. The camera will reboot and ESP 

will search for the reader again.

5. When the reader is found, note the new IP address that is generated.
6. Open a browser and type the new IP address.

WebLink will load.

Step 7 — Explore the Start View

The 

Start 

view is the initial view you will see when the WebLink session begins. The connected reader   is 

shown, along with its 

user-defined name

 (must be 

19

 characters or fewer), 

IP address

Step 8 — Create a New Setup or Load an Existing Setup

Assisted Setup

When you click the 

Assisted Setup

 button in the 

Start

 view, a dialog will appear asking you a series of 

application-based questions. Based on your answers, WebLink generates your initial setup automatically. 

Once the setup is created, you can fine-tune its parameters in the 

Setup 

view.

Create a New Setup

The Start view also allows you to create a 

New Setup

 without using Assisted Setup. When you click     

the 

Create a New Setup

 button, WebLink searches for any differences from default in the reader   

parameters. If no differences from default are found, you will see the 

Setup 

view. If differences from 

default are found, an alert will appear asking if you want to restore default settings.

Load a Setup

Select 

Load Setup

 to load an existing 

.json

 WebLink setup file. You can also load an 

.esp

 or 

.txt

 file from 

Omron Microscan’s 

ESP Software

.  

Step 3 — Mount and Position the Reader

• Position the reader several inches from the symbol. You may need to reposition the reader a few  

times to find the ideal distance.

• Tip the reader relative to the symbol to avoid the glare of direct (specular) reflection.
• Symbols can be rotated (tilted) at any angle; however, for best results symbols should be aligned    

with the field of view. In the case of linear symbols, aligning the bars in the direction of their movement 

(ladder orientation) will minimize the chances of blurring and will result in more consistent decodes.

Important: 

Avoid excessive skew or pitch. Maximum skew is 

±30°

; maximum pitch is 

±30°

. The     

illustration below shows approximate skew axis, pitch axis, and tilt axis.
